When everyone else screams, a silent whisper might be the way to get one's point across. In the past eleven years since they started to work collaboratively under the name SANAA, no one has whispered as eloquently as Tokyo architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa. Their white, light, clean buildings share a deceptive simplicity that echoes the more poetic pages out of the book of Toyo Ito - which makes sense, seeing that Sejima worked in Ito's office before launching her own practice. Compare an Ito poem such as the Tod's Omotesando Building with SANAA's Zollverein School in Essen - both are very bold buildings, but whereas the tree shadow façade of the former screams "look at me", the hip - to - be - square window choreography of the latter doesn't scream at all. It just makes you look. While language barriers have occasionally been in the way of some previous SANAA talks (together with cultural differences: "Grandma's room, four tatami" isn't necessarily the most efficient way to explain a space to Western fans of architecture), no one with a serious interest in dancing diagrams should miss out on a chance to hear Sejima and Nishizawa discuss their work, ranging from product design via private houses to public buildings.
